"Lifen, wait. We need to talk. You can"t ignore me like that everytime", with that he pulled her slightly in front of him.
Lifen instantly flinched from his grip, making her expression as if she was in front of some stranger.
It was somewhat painful for Deming but until she was ready to talk to him it won"t be any problem. So she gave a soft smile to her weird behaviour.
"Is there anything that is left to talk between us, Mr.w.a.n.g? I guess there isn"t...I have already made myself clear long before. We are just a known strangers, that"s it. And one shouldn"t be bothered with strangers, they should just ignore them and live their lives peacefully ", she said as she looked curiously at his face, trying to know something clearly.
She has ignored him twice within last 24 hours but he is still smiling. Wasn"t he getting irritated or furious because of her actions? The Deming she knew was quite impatient when things came to him and would get instantly furious if thing didn"t go according to his will. Then why is so gentle to her?
His gentleness is only melting the icy wall around her heart, which took so much of her efforts and time to harden against him. His gentle gaze and that soft smile was doing nothing good to her but only give her some second thoughts on her previous decisions.
"How are you? It"s been two years...", he wanted to know everything that happened in these two years which was like twenty lonely decades to him. He wanted to know, was she also feeling lonely similar like him.
But before he could even complete his question, Lifen cut his words off in the middle, "I have been perfectly fine. This two years was more or less like heaven to me. I loved the people around me, and WASN"T AT ALL ALONE".
She then paused for only add one last thing to her words, "But I am a bit confused, Mr.w.a.n.g? Why do a "person like you" would ask a "stranger like me" something related to the time I spent?"
Deming let out a low chuckle at her words, which clearly can be labelled at a fake forced one. "Really? You brain is really being highly influenced by the people you are surrounded with. You have perfectly learned how to clean bold someone by your few words. Impressive! Very Impressive!", he gently clapped his hands as if giving her a compliment.
"But I think I am not that knowledgeable to clearly understand your high words. Please enlighten me on your phrases, "someone like me" and "stranger like you"", he said as he take a strong step making himself a little closer to her and squinting his eyes on her.
"Okay, I don"t make it long because I am getting a bit late at my work. I am not as rich as you and my boss will surely fire me, if I get late. So better leave me alone after that", she said as she beautifully recreated the previous gap between them.
"By "someone like you", I mean a person as good as you who has a lovely and caring fiancee and by "stranger like me", Ummmmm I think you know that clearly well because I have already made myself clear before", she said with a wide teasing smile on her lips.
With that she moved past him, walking towards her car. "Where do you work? I will help your boss treat you nicely, with extra care", he teased her too.
"Don"t bother so much into my affairs. And I don"t like anyone unwanted at my work place, so... Furthermore I have already answered you so you can go back", she said while stepping inside her car which perfectly hid her real ident.i.ty too.
She still didn"t want to reveal it, at least till the need becomes too severe and most importantly how does her real ident.i.ty concern him. Even she herself doesn"t concern him.
Deming saw her starting the engine. No, not yet. He hasn"t satisfied himself yet. He haven"t gave any sincere apology and even haven"t asked about the her condition after such tough operation. It"s too early for her too leave. But how was he going to stop her. She seems so dedicated to her work.
"It"s not fair, Little Cat. I have invited you to my house so many times. Won"t you return it to me? Don"t you think it"s a kind of impolite? I am still standing downstairs here", he said with a pout which was trying hard to conceal his devilish plans but still leaving some stray ends in front of her.
Lifen too noticed it. She was very well accustomed with his expressions and his eyes. It was her hobby to read someone"s eyes, but in case of Deming she didn"t intend to but it happens naturally.
If it comes to her choice, she would never choose to look at his deep sensual eyes which were bound give her b.u.t.terflies. Everytime she stares deep into it, she seems to be losing her logic of reasoning inside her heart and mind. It makes her so weak in front of him.
"Sorry, but I have my work to attend. And I don"t prefer to entertain guest in my place", she rejected bluntly.
"Okay, I won"t ask you to delay or avoid your work for me. But I can wait for you here. I am all free", he said giving her a devil wink to her.
"You can wait. I won"t stand at place to give you any instructions or advice. But still have a look at today"s weather forecast. Though it might look sunny in morning today, but the weather will be changing in the afternoon, it might rain heavily today. And for me I will be coming after late evening ", she said to make him retreat.
Deming couldn"t help but smile at her words, "Are you being concerned about me?"
"Get Lost!", she said and sped off leaving him there all alone.
